=================
PROVIEW'S Plug & Play monitors are designed to work with Windows 95/98/2000/ME
/XP operating system. PROVIEW monitors comply with VESA DDC (Display Data
Channel) Standards and are Plug & Play compatible. With the use of a DDC
compatible video card, the EDID (Extended Display Identification)can be
read from the PROVIEW Monitor by Plug & Play compatible software,such as
Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP.In order for Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP to detect the
new monitor,you must ensure that the following minimum requirements are met:
(1).A DDC compatible video card is installed.If your video card is not
DDC compatible,then autodetection will not work.
(2).DDC detection is enabled in Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP.This should be the case
if you installed a DDC compatible video card.The *.INF file supplied
with the video card should enable DDC in Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP.If this
is not the case, then autodetection will fail.
(3).A DDC compatible monitor with its *.INF file installed into Windows
95/98/2000/ME/XP.
